tarator salad recipe

Put the shelled walnuts (cleaned and peeled), 2 complete heads of garlic (cleaned) and the salt into a mortar and pound well. Watch creafully to see that walnut oil is not secreted.

Mix the sesame oil and lemon juice well in a bowl. Add the walnuts and the garlic to the bowl and continue blending. Chop the parsley and add it to the bowl. Your tarator is now ready for serving. Serve in a deep dish. (If tarator is going to be served as a garnish, the amount of parsley may be reduced to half a bunch or omitted altogether.)
